RAF Typhoon only ever used ASRAAM except in testing. GR4 and F3 AOP also only used ASRAAM.
There are LOADS of aircraft that only used a certain type of missile but have a much earlier missile for the sake of balance. So this isnt really a big deal. Though they could just give the FGR4 Meteors if its a balancing issue.
Then I hope we get ASRAAM for the Typhoons to level the playing field
typhoon can already carry more AIM-120, theyll have the same weapons but typhoon will have more
if they add asraam for typhoon to compete with f22, theyll have to add aim 9x block 1 or 2 to all other US aircraft as well
F-22 has 2x Aim-9 and 6x AMRAAM?
That is the EXACT same loadout as the Typhoon currently.
So I dont know why you think the Typhoon would have a BVR advantage.
F-22 = Typhoon with CAPTOR-E + Meteor. Only way in hell that is remotely fair. Either that or the stealth kit will basically not be modeled to work.
The US Air Force didn’t even receive their first F-15EX until 2021 (didn’t even enter service until this year)… But I mean hey, if Gaijin wants to give it missiles that have probably been out of US service for over a decade, more power to them.
Either that or the stealth kit will basically not be modeled to work
Because the current F-117s stealth is so OP broken right? Considering the ranges we have in game, I don’t even know how much of a benefit stealth will be for the F-22s, bringing in the meteors is a wild take though. The early F-22 should be fine with everyone starting to get AESA at top tier.
Its only US thing so after msip II
Nah, I thought he meant the KAI T-50 Golden Eagle for some reason.
Mirage 2000 RMV has yet to enter service and only used MICA IRs, not magic IIs
Usaf should give it official name as i dont think golden eagle is one. Iirc its nickname… God dn misunderstandingns.
Isnt our rafale like 1-2 yers “older” than EX anyway? Gaijin somehow added second most modern version. Given current wt system simulation, F4 will be 400K rp for meteor, mica ir and two more pylons.
I have no idea about the rafale. But FGR4 was the second typhoon in service with the RAF and the one still in service (with upgrades)
I just hope they add some stuff to russia, sweden and china with japan and then focus few major updates on polishing their engine, new game modes, more indepth avionics, general sensor systems, weapons and so on. Its time for it, otherwise in 2 years, there won’t be anything left to expand top tiers and game will slowly stagnate. Not sure there is enough other major nations with unique top tiers to be added…
Most will be F-35, eurofighter/rafale, Su-30, Jf-17, Gripen.
There is also plenty of cool cold war stuff to be added.
I only use BOL for Chaff, IR Cms are the large ones dispensed by the aircraft.
Typhoon FGR.4 from UK tech tree before Project Centurion configuration ?
But carry AIM-132 Blk 6 (coming to great britain 2029 or 2030)
EF-2000 with CAPTOR-E AESA radar after EF-2000 T2 Blk 10 and battle rating 14.7 minimum
Wouldn’t that be the F-16E (Block 60) with APG-80 AESA or F-16V (Block 70) with APG-83 AESA?
And maybe I’m alone with that opinion but I would much rather have things like ECM/ECCM and pyrophoric flares implemented (before integration of even better ARH and IR missiles) along with larger maps and completly overhauled game modes and maps, especially fixed maps without extremly low poly terrain straight out of minecraft and ground vehicles clipping through it.
No, USA uses SABR on their block 50(and soon 40) F-16 fleet
I think it will entirely depend on how they model Raptor. If gets stealth good enough to prevent weapon grade lock/training at 20-25km+ it will be the undisputed king in BVR hands down considering the fact it has 6 Aim-120Cs and the absolute best radar with monsterous flight model. IRST will not be a vulnerability in any way, shape or form when we consider the fact that it will be a mere tool to track the Raptor which cannot be tracked otherwise. Do not forget that clouds also exist which makes this even harder in some games.
BUT, if it’s stealth will be only useful at something like 50-60+ km then it’s just going to be another gimmick that may or may not help in the early game.
Yeahhhh no thats were you are wrong.
To confident in american tech.
If you take so many missles as soon as one is put on an external slot you pretty much lose a lot of the steakth ability. At the point of F-22 you start fighting agaibst meteors and get outranged as well.
The F-22 is more a stealth approach close wvr fighter not bvr one.
They rarely fly high speed as well since ut damages the stealth coatings
The meteor missile wouldn’t be that game-breaking would it? This game doesn’t really allow for long range bvr fights to utilize its 200+ km range & TWS doesn’t really go past 70km
Ramjet engine go brrrrt
